According to an article in the December 29, 2013, issue of Parade Magazine, the statistical success rate of New Year's Resolutions is a pretty sorry 8%. (I don't know what the definition of "success" was in said study, but regardless, 8% seems pretty low.)
A separate article in the same issue listed the top five most popular resolutions for Americans, as well as apps that you can use to help yourself successfully keep them (assuming your resolutions align with the top five most popular).
Here they are:
Resolution #1: Lose Weight
App: Nutrino (free)

*Sidenote: When I told my husband, who hates grocery shopping, about this app, he said what it really sounded like was a great way to turn a one-hour trip to the grocery store into a six-hour trip to the grocery store while I mandated he scan every food item we consider buying (I don't have a smart phone, so he would be the designated food scanner). Still, I think it sounds like a pretty good idea.
